Out in the garden the other day, I noticed this flower bud on one of my red onions.  There was only one, so I left it alone.

 

I had garlic scapes on the brain when I saw it.  Of course, it is the onion trying to flower, but I wonder if it is going to bloom beautifully like the leeks?  Or is it taking energy from the onion bulb like the scapes?  

 

Either way, look how curly and cute it is!  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
